Comments:
It has been about six or seven years since I worked this contest. I found out
Kevin signed me up on a low power team and asked that I at least get on and
give him Arkansas. He was going to work the contest low power from his house
where he has a quarter wavelength wire in parallel for 80/40/20. He has two
radios, knows how to use them, and I am confused enough with one.
I decided to work it full time. I had about a 15 dB advantage on 20M, an
equivalent antenna on 40M (dipole at 25 feet) and a 4 Square that would not
switch directions for 80. When we had dinner before the contest, Kevin's wife,
Jennifer, said, "Well, you have a big advantage." I said, "I'm not sure of that,
Kevin is a better operator, has two radios, etc. but I am still the better
golfer" :-) When the final results of our little competition were tallied, we
had exactly the same number of contacts. Perhaps I will edge him out on
multipliers.
It turned out to be a lot of fun, and I look forward to another one.
Stan, K5GO
